Answer 1

Answer:

please mark it is brainlist

Explanation:

The monosaccharides like glucose are used in the production of energy and are components of numerous macromolecules like nucleic acids and polysaccharides. Oligosaccharides are constituents of cell membranes and also act as storage products.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are called simple sugars as they cannot be hydrolyzed further into simpler units.

When two to six monosaccharides joined together through a glycosidic bond, they are called oligosaccharides.

Polysaccharides are macromolecules and are also called glycans. They are formed by the joining of more than six monosaccharide units.

Carbohydrates have a wide variety of functions. The monosaccharides like glucose are used in the production of energy and are components of numerous macromolecules like nucleic acids and polysaccharides. Oligosaccharides are constituents of cell membranes and also act as storage products.

Polysaccharides act as reserve food materials in animals as exemplified by glycogen. Polysaccharides like cellulose constitute the cell walls in plants.
